—Performance degradation of memory-intensive programs caused by the LRU policy’s inability to handle weaklocality data accesses in the last level cache is increasingly serious ...
This paper describes a fast, automated technique for accurate on-line estimation of the performance and power consumption of interacting processes in a multi-programmed, multi-cor...

Reuse distance analysis has been proved promising in evaluating and predicting data locality for programs written in Fortran or C/C++. But its effect has not been examined for ap...
—The ongoing move to chip multiprocessors (CMPs) permits greater sharing of last-level cache by processor cores but this sharing aggravates the cache contention problem, potentia...
